Honestly, NO. It is a long, DARK walk from El Zafiro to anywhere. Yes, it's a straight shot down the beach to Karakter, but after dark, there is absolutely nothing there and I wouldn't do it. It's roughly 1/4 mile between Beachside Villa and Karakter, and who knows who might hang out there after night??? You could walk to the other way to Sunset Bar and Grill, or Maho, before dark, but there are NO sidewalks and the road is pretty narrow and VERY dark. Best advice is you could walk to Karakter, Sunset Bar or Maho BEFORE dark, and get a cab back.

I guess we can all look at the same thing and see it differently.
Karakter is within the twenty minute parameter you set but it’s not a walk I would want to do in the dark, and particularly after having a few drinks. There is no boardwalk or sidewalk and the only lighting is from the beachfront properties along the way. If you plan on doing this, make sure you bring a strong flashlight and do the walk during the day the first time.
Respectfully,

K19--Lesley lives on the road between El Zafiro and Sunset. Please heed his advice.

benni--the original poster IS renting a car, but is concerned about driving after drinking. I think the original poster's question has been answered though.
